The Mountie / The Way of the West / Lawman (2011) DVD5

Retitled for American DVD audiences as The Way of the West, The Mountie is a distinctly Canadian film that follows disgraced Mountie Wade Grayling (Andrew W. Walker) as he surveys a remote corner of the Yukon Territory in preparation for the establishment of a NWMP (forerunners of the RCMP) outpost. As luck or misfortune would have it, Grayling stumbles upon a spartan settlement of Latvians on the Stewart River, under the control of priest Olaf (Earl Pastko), who not only have something to hide but are terrorized by a gang of Russian opium runners. Grayling, enraptured by the priest's daughter Amethyst (Jessica Pare) and seeking to atone for his past mistakes, digs up the group's secret and goes head to head with the Russians.
